Disklavier

Thank you PianoBench and Robert for your help. I still haven't gotten
any of it working. Maybe I should switch to a different program. I do
have the CBX driver highlighted for both input and output. I turned
off "enable thru" Also set the Piano Receive Channel on the Disklavier to 
PRG(All) 

When I go into the preferences inside PowerTracks and choose Audio, I
see a button for drivers and there it has listed:
Audio Input drivers as 
"Microsoft Sound Mapper" and "ESS AudioDrive Record"(which I believe
is my soundcard.)I've had both checked and then tried either one checked.
Then I have the Audio Output Drivers which list
"ESS AudioPlayback" and "Microsoft Sound Mapper" which I've tried both.
